Computational modeling demonstrates that successful defibrillation depends heavily on the level of organization of the fibrillatory episode and microscopic conductivity fluctuations.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Preclinical model should not change defibrillation practice; leaves open whether conductivity modulation can reduce shock energy in organized VF.
Plank et al. (2005) studied this question.
